We print the structures of our Bates City
correspondent upon the churches OF his towu
for refusing their places of worship to q tenn
persnce lecturer, only because we do not like
to stiie q free expression of opinion, but VIZ
have NO sympathy with bis views. With
out meaning any disrespect to the lecturer II
question, for we know nothing of her, w
believe 1t to be a good rule to preserve thu
houses of God to the worship Of God. As
general practice the first thing the tenn
perance lecturer does, Is to attack the CHRIS
tisn bodies of the country, ippugning theil
methods and motives, and setting up theil
dicta as being above the church. Temper.
ance agitation 70 q very good thing, If, as DR.
McAnally points out, people would Just be
temperate about it; but there are other i'm
portant things, too. among which, and In
Guiding the former Is only one of its man!
marits, is the church of Christ. We do no
desire any controversy on this subject, ant
do not mean to impugn the motives OF oul
correspondent, but having printed what b.
